Colligative Properties and Osmotic Pressure

The document discusses colligative properties, addressing reasoning questions related to boiling point changes when adding different solutes to water, the preferred methods for determining molar masses of macromolecules, and the effects of various sodium chloride concentrations on blood cells. It also includes numerical problems involving calculations of non-volatile solute mass, van’t Hoff factors, and the effects of solute on freezing points. Additionally, it explores the implications of solute behavior in different scenarios and the nature of solutes based on van’t Hoff factor values.

increases while on addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to1 litre of water decreases its boiling
point?
Q2. Why does measurement of osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of
molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers?
